Shen Junzhuo looked at Shen Yu standing in front of him, thought of the magnolia hairpin, and sneered in his heart, looked him over, and then said:
"I heard that your father is going to give you a crown prince?"
Shen Yu felt that his legs were starting to tremble. He tried to control himself so as not to tremble like chaff in front of Shen Junzhuo, so as not to be embarrassed in front of Shu Yao. For some reason, he had a feeling that this uncle Jiu didn't know what he was doing. He didn't take him seriously, but today he suddenly changed his attitude - instead of valuing him, he was even more contemptuous, so contemptuous that he felt like a speck of dust, humbled to the ground.
He heard his own voice tremble a little:
"Yes, my father said that he would go to court when the government returns to power."
Shen Junzhuo smiled softly, and the laughter sounded teasing to Shen Yu's ears. But he didn't dare to look at his face anymore. He just lowered his head and stood there feeling uncomfortable and nervous. Embarrassment, fear, humility.
There was a soft sound from behind, which was the sound of the curtain being opened. Shen Yu turned around and saw Mrs. Jiang coming with the concubines. Suddenly she felt that she had a savior and hurriedly called her mother.
Mrs. Jiang glanced at him, then looked at Shen Junzhuo and said:
"Uncle Jiu is free today. Is there nothing to do in the court? Why are you sitting here all the time?"
Shen Junzhuo stood up and sneered:
"Sister-in-law is very forgetful. Everyone is celebrating the New Year. Even the officials are exempted from the early morning court, so why don't I also be allowed to celebrate the New Year? But when my sister-in-law came, she really reminded me that I have something to do. Some people rely on the merits of their ancestors. , the title has not changed for three generations. By the fourth generation, there has been no achievement at all, and it is of no benefit to the court. If the title remains unchanged, it would be a bit unruly. My sister-in-law is a person who attaches great importance to rules, don't you think so? Woolen cloth?"
Mrs. Jiang's eyes were burning and she looked straight at him. Who are these people talking about? It's the Duke of Mao! If he really wants to slander in front of the officials, he will be demoted when Shen Yu inherits the title. It is entirely possible to wait. Although this will not do him any good, it will be very bad for Shen Minghe and Mrs. Jiang!
Such a clear threat made Mrs. Jiang very embarrassed. The anger in her heart was boiling up and down, making her chest hurt. But even so, she did not dare to confront him directly. He just said this now, You may not really do it. If you really anger him, you will just force him to do it.
Mrs. Jiang only felt a severe pain in her heart. These thoughts went around in her mind for several times, and finally she suppressed her anger. With a cold face, she squeezed out a stiff smile and said:
"Uncle Jiu is joking. Our Shen family is not without achievements. Aren't you the Shen family's greatest benefit to the court? The official family needs your help to sit firmly in the Nine Palaces, the country and the country are stable, and the people are happy and prosperous. No one can have it. An objection!"
Shen Junzhuo walked down from above and said as he walked:
"Sister-in-law, it's better not to put gold on yourself. What I did has nothing to do with the Duke Mao's government, and the officials know this clearly. In addition, I advise my sister-in-law to pay more attention to her diet on weekdays, such as longan, Eat less fresh and dried fruits like dried lychees. This will save you from being extremely angry throughout the day, which will harm your body. If there is another idle incident in this house, won't it just cause trouble for nothing?"
With that said, he passed by Mrs. Jiang without stopping at all. He opened the curtain and went out, leaving the room full of people in silence.
